“What’s wrong?” Fia smiled sarcastically. “It’s not like I talked about your children. Why that expression?” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Silas lowered his head, took a few seconds to compose himself, and then handed over the gift he held.
“Today, we shouldn’t have taken the children away without your permission. This is a small token of goodwill, hoping that you will accept it and not blame Mr. Maxwell.”
Fia glanced at the gifts. “They’re quite expensive, but unfortunately, I can afford them myself. Such small favors are of no use to me.”
Silas was speechless.
“Look, if your work life isn’t too busy, you should consider your lifelong matters. You’re not young anymore, right? You can’t possibly spend your whole life following your CEO, right?” Fia’s tone was somewhat mocking.
Silas stared at her blankly and mumbled, “Madam Fia wouldn’t say such things.”
Fia frowned, feeling a stab in her heart.
After enduring so much pain and becoming so desperate, did he expect her to be as foolishly kind as before?
“Ms. Sia, thank you for saving Mr. Maxwell today.” Silas looked at her earnestly. “I’ve consulted doctors, but I couldn’t find out what’s wrong with him. I don’t know if you would be able to help?”
Fia frowned. “How is it possible that no one can figure it out?”
She almost blurted out that Tiger might be able to.
“Originally, we did have someone, but my comrade left five years ago and lost contact with us.” Silas sounded frustrated. “Temporarily, we can’t find someone competent in this area.”
Fia blinked. She thought of Sophia and Tiger. It was evident that Tiger had feelings for Sophia, but there was an unspoken barrier between them.
Why did Tiger leave? Could it be related to Sophia? She wanted to ask, but she did not dare to.
In the past five years, her life had been busy and dangerous. Apart from herself and her two children, she had not been bothered to know anything about those people from her past.
Perhaps now, she should start asking questions.
“Ms. Sia, as long as you’re willing to help, I’m willing to offer anything in return,” Silas said sincerely.
Fia shook her head. “I’m sorry. I just happened to save your CEO. I don’t have any special abilities.”
The poison on Conrad was very likely related to Lucifer.
She was under Lucifer’s command now, and she couldn’t betray her master for Conrad’s sake.
Moreover, Lucifer was the children’s “Daddy” in their eyes.
The two children have always thought Lucifer was their dad.
At the moment, her life with the children was quite good.
It wasn’t worth offending Lucifer for Conrad’s sake.
“Mommy, why are you still at the door?” Adrian and Irene, seeing that Fia hadn’t entered, curiously ran to
the door.
They saw the items brought by Silas and their eyes lit up.
Seeing their expressions, the corner of Fia’s mouth twitched.
Originally, she was planning to chase Silas away, but unexpectedly, the two children took the gifts directly.
She was speechless.
“Mister, are these gifts for my sister and 1?” Adrian asked happily.
Silas nodded. “Yes! The doll is for your sister, and the LEGO puzzle is for you.”
“Thank you, Uncle!” The two children each took their own gifts and happily ran back into the house to play. Fia’s face turned slightly warm.
Children were, after all, children. Once they didn’t guard themselves against an adult, it was too easy to win them over.
She hurriedly said to Silas, “Give me your QR code, and I’ll return you the money.”
“There’s no need, Ms. Sia. Compared to you saving Mr. Maxwell today, these things are insignificant.” Silas looked at Fia and couldn’t help asking, “Where are you from?”
“From planet Earth,” Fia replied and lifted her head. She saw Conrad approaching from around the corner.
He was still using a cane and his black coat made him appear stern.
His face, abnormally pale, was thinner than five years ago. At first glance, he seemed even more heartless,
However, oddly enough, he wasn’t heartless when facing her..
Could it be that a person without memories was lonely?
Or perhaps, despite the absence of memories, there was some kind of connection within him?
Was that why he insisted on provoking her?
As he came closer, her expression grew colder, devoid of the sarcastic teasing she had with Silas.
She turned around and headed inside to close the door.
“Ms. Sia.”
